The Rainforest Ecolodge - Sinharaja with Shuttle Service from Car Park

Приключения по пути

Beautiful view. Lovely funny forest guide who did his best

Terrible road up that they should fix. The rainforest itself is ok if you have not been to one before. But if you have I would not bother. Also very expensive with our bill coming to 400 dollars...management needs to think again about their pricing until they have made improvements

Locatie was werkelijk adembenemend

This hotel is really special. It's well worth the jeep ride from the car park, as you end up in a stunning location right on the edge of the forest, surrounded by beautiful views and sounds of nature. The staff are kind and friendly, and do whatever they can to make your stay memorable. Our chalet was rustic but comfortable, with an emphasis on sustainability and proximity to the natural environment. We went on three private nature trails that were incredible value for money, with an exceptional guide, Shantha. It was a privilege to stay there and I would recommend to anyone with a sense of adventure and a passion for the natural world

The views from the main building are nice. The food was okay.

The rooms are extremely dirty, covered in both dead and alive ants in the thousands in all rooms. The showers are all broken, the provided floor fan only worked for some of our group and they didn’t have the correct conversion plugs for the appliances. Our fridge didn’t work. The roof of our cabin leaked during the rain. They didn’t let us check in until after 5pm as there was issues with our room which then smelled of bleach when we entered. The footpaths between the main building and lodges are quite dangerous and don’t have handrails so when it rains the rocks become slippery. They charged an additional $20us per person for a short waterfall hike without advising us. All additional activities cost extra and significantly more for foreigners. None of the staff speak a word of english other than the manager at reception which made everything difficult.

Excellent birding. Great place if you are a birder. Rooms were comfortable particularly as this is so far out. If you bird would 100% recommend a birding trip with Jaganth.

You need to appreciate nature to enjoy this fully. You will be in the rainforest and so you need to anticipate there will be rain, some bugs etc. it is a good place but know you are staying in a remote hotel made for nature viewing.

The location was stunning

A unique experience in the heart of the rainforest. Our room had exceptional views on all sides, was modern and clean with big comfy beds. As you’d expect in a rainforest, it was cloudy and damp at times, but we really got to immerse ourselves in the sounds and atmosphere of the first. A truly wonderful stay unlike anywhere else in Sri Lanka. We did some great guided walks.

The staff were professional, friendly and couldn't do enough to help where possible. The location was amazing. The 1 hour jeep ride ascent into the Sinharaja reserve was incredible.

The facilities were in dire need of maintenance and cleaning. Our room had no hot water or ability to flush the toilet. The room was unclean. The plumbing broke down twice. Single mattresses didn't form a double bed easily. Bedding wasn't clean. I changed the date and the price went down but the hotel would not reduce the cost from the original booking. Some rooms positioned have no privacy. Some rooms are insanely hot. Some rooms have saloon doors between their bathrooms which bang loud and are highly impractical. The leeches are not for the faint hearted. This is not avoidable due to rainforest location which is incredible but if you can't handle creepy crawlies I'd recommend not coming. Leeches latch onto you.
